Abstract

The air permeability of composite materials obtained by impregnating a non-woven needle-punched cloth with latex was investigated. The permeability of composite materials with different rubber content was estimated by the coefficient of air permeability at a pressure drop of 49 and 100 Pa. The dependence of the air permeability coefficient on the degree of impregnation of the fabric showed that at 15 – 20 % of the rubber content, the maximum air permeability coefficient is observed, and when the degree of impregnation increases, the air permeability coefficient decreases. The process of forming a porous structure of composite materials and its influence on air transport is considered. The increase of the coefficient of permeability is explained by the fixation of the fibers of the surface layer with limited mobility under the action of air flow, and a reduction in the coefficient of air permeability by reducing pore space and an increase in fiber matrix composite materials in the process of sushi-Ki-impregnated material. The air permeability of composite materials is determined by the ratio between the processes of increasing the volume of the fibrous matrix and reducing porosity when filling the space between the portages with rubber particles. A model is proposed for calculating the coefficient of breathability of composite materials of known density.
